"nobody loves me." "i do. i love you."

i’ve been wondering about this for a while now. why is it that most people desire to be desired? we seek attention continually, so we can receive more love. albeit doing this out of the best intentions, i am unable to comprehend. of all the foolish traits possessed by human beings, this probably ranks first.

let me concur. this is no motivational talk. i am seriously considering this issue—why people long to be accepted and are able to become someone they are not, simply to grab that temporary fame. it’s a drug, isn’t it? people get hooked to it. and when someone else gets the attention we think we deserve, we wonder why they made it and not us. why not us? why not me? there’s always someone, someone who looks like they’ve made it all.

well, they only look the part. because everybody has their own problems. so even though they may look like they live in Barbie and Ken’s universe, they don’t. but we think they do. we see what we want to see. we're all fighting a tough war, aren't we? we all have our difficulties, our problems, our own obstacle course to overcome and complete. it is a great honor to fight for love, but never ever degrade yourself to fight in order to gain love for yourself. 

smack yourself in the face and tell yourself this : it's not always about you. 

the love you desire, the love you yearn for, it will come. believe and it shall arrive. be patient, because God's saving the best for the last. they may laugh now, but when people go through hardships, break-ups, divorces, and they see you ending up with the most perfect soulmate--they'll wonder why they didn't wait. 

sure, waiting can be a pain, so choose now and choose quick : do you wish for a temporary paradise, or an eternal promised land?

you are as good as you are. you are good enough. so please, if you think no one knows you, nobody loves you, God does. and if you think God doesn't, i do. i'll love you. i'll love you even if you tell me you're ugly, a mess, a drunkard, a smoker, broken and shattered, depressed, suicidal--anything.

i'll love you with all my might.
